    New PSU but still no power on

    I have replaced an Antec True Power which was whining presumably due to bad capacitors. The system finally shut itself down and would not power on at all nor was the led on my mobo lighting up. Being a month or two out of warranty I went out and bought a Cooler Master Real Power Pro 650w. I...

    Jerky a good snack?

    Seems to be relatively low in calories and fat with a very high protein content (14g in a serving). It's a little high in sodium unfortunately. Anyone else here eat it as a change of pace from energy bars, tuna, and the like?

    Out of sync audio with GH3 for the Wii?

    I was playing the other night and expeirienced some out of sync audio which of course really threw me off on the song. I reset the system and play again. First song through, audio fine, next song, out of sync audio again. I inspected the game disc, fine, not a scratch on it. Anyone else...

    The onboard video for a Macbook

    My frame of reference would be the GeForce series. I currently run a Geforce 6800 in my desktop with an AMD64 3000+. So I know CPU-wise a Macbook would be an upgrade but what about the video card. I know on board video isn't as good as a deicated card but I was curious as to maybe what...

    For the past few months powering on my pc has been flaky. Before then I would have issues where I would have random reboots but then that issue seemed to go away. Since then power ups would seems weak almost like a car that is tough to start. This wasn't much of an issue since I would leave...

    Monitor losing signal during game play

    I have been attempting to play CS Source but occasionly the monitor will seem like it will lose signal but eventually cut back on after a few seconds. It will also happen during 3d Mark 05 and 03. This doesn't happen when I play Far Cry though. Could this be linked to my use of a KVM switch? I...

    Athlon XP-M and the VIA KT333 chipset

    I am considering pairing an XP-Mobile CPU chip with an Epox 8k3a+ which runs on a KT333 chipset. This CPU should work perfectly fine in a desktop mobo right? I am looking at these CPUs mainly because of the 266mhz FSB on them.

    The other night we were partying at my apartment and was using my Z-560's to provide some music. I had it going pretty loud and felt the sub get fairly warm. The speakers ended up shutting themselves off. I have not been able to get them to power back up since. I assume I blew a fuse in the...

    Swapping epox 8k7a with 8k3a+ will I lose my OS install?

    I had a problem when I switched from an Abit BH6 to the Epox 8k7a, my Windows 2000 install did not like the switch. Is this a common problem? I am getting a Epox 8k3a+ in the mail in a couple days and I am wondering if I should be worried about my OS install now surviving the switch.
